(10 Jun 2021, 8:57 pm)mb134 I mean, it just hasn't. Here's a photo from 6 months ago: https://flic.kr/p/2kgpddw.  

They were regularly on there before lockdown, reliability after spring of 2020 (while not fantastic beforehand) plummeted. It's much easier to keep them relatively local and use the more reliable VDLs. Deckers need to be allocated on one board/run a day regardless due to school loadings.

As Omnicity4659 says in terms of branding, realistically they don't have much longer left on paper. Given DB have turned off the money tap, ANE likely don't see repainting 14 year old buses as a priority.
From what I heard they probably won’t have much done but the solos they ordered were cancelled from whay I heard and the plan is to Wack them on the 51 or 55 to boost capacity from what I was told but doesn’t look too likely with the transfers of older solos all over for a while now
